So, would I be correct in assuming that you don't think I'm an idiot?

Toward the end of your "essay," you said you had to wrap it up.  but let 
me say that i greatly enjoyed and appreciated your responses.  Oh, and 
about non-differential equations--I think I'm looking into them for a 
couple of reasons: 1.) Because I don't want to appear a complete 
charlatan, 2.)  My major professor told me I needed to, for my diss., 
look into the "technical stuff."  He really said that.  I argued that my 
interest in chaos was encouraged via lit and that my diss was intended 
for an audience of similar motivational orientations.  He kind of bought 
it.  Still, I want to read the "technical stuff" anyhow, and 3.)  (I 
know, I said, "a couple") I originally intended to be a chemical engineer 
but was daunted by calculus--I'm trying to see if anything had changed, 
cognitively speaking--or would that be hermeneutically speaking?  You 
know what I mean.

Also, much of what I suggested about Newton comes from an article in 
Hayles' _Chaos and Order. . ._  I'll give the ref. tomorrow.  The book's 
in my office.

Thanks again.

Bonnie
